Arthur woke up in pain early that morning, clutching his stomach-contractions.
"Al." he breathed out as another contraction hit. Alfred mumbled incoherently as he moved in the bed.
"Alfred!" he shouted, pushing his husband's shoulder.
"Wh." He mumbled, rubbing his eyes.
"Ella is coming!" He shouted, trying to get the American's attention.
"That's nice, babe." Alfred said rolling on his side.
Arthur huffed as he stared at his husband. Three. Two. O-.
"OH MY GOD THE BABY IS COMING!" Alfred shouted, sitting straight up in bed. "YOu're in labor!"
"No fucking shit, Sherlock!" Arthur shouted back as another contraction hit.
"Okay, okay. I'm calm." Alfred said as he ran around trying to find their bag that they packed earlier.
"Doctor and my sister." Arthur said as he grimaced in pain. Arthur's sister, Wales or Gwyneth Kirkland, had agreed to be on call should Arthur go into labor in the middle of the night to watch Peter.
"Right." Alfred said, grabbing his phone from the nightstand and calling his sister-in-law. He dialed the number and put the phone to his ear.
"Helo" Came the voice of Gwyneth after a few rings.
"Gwyn," Alfred said, "It's me,"
"I couldn't tell by your annoying accent." she replied, "Is my baby brother in labour?" She asked.
"Yeah." Alfred replied.
"I'll be there soon." Gwyn said, hanging up the phone.
"Now your doctor." Alfred said, going into his contacts to tell the doctor they were on the way. The medical staff at the hospital had to be informed about Arthur a few months ago to prepare. Arthur would be escorted into the back entrance of the hospital and taken up a private lift to the room where he would give birth to their daughter.
Arthur closed his eyes as he focused on his breathing and the sound of Alfred's voice.
Arthur got off the phone and went over to Arthur, "You ready, babe?" Alfred asked as Arthur nodded his head. "Then let's get going, Gwyn will be here any minute."
Alfred grasped Arthur hand and helped him up.
"Where's the bag?" Alfred asked.
"It's next to the front door so you wouldn't forget it." Arthur reminded him through gritted teeth. He swore his husband would forget his own head if it wasn't attached to his shoulders.
"Right." He said as they walked out the door. Once Alfred carried him down the stairs (since Arthur was having trouble) the door opened revealing Gwyn. She was slightly taller than her youngest brother and had curly strawberry blonde hair and the same green eyes as her brother.
"Thanks for watching Peter." Alfred said, "My brother will be by later to take over."
"Okay. Now go!" She said, shooing the two personifications out of the house, Alfred stopping briefly to grab the bag before heading out to the car.
So super short, sorry.
Don't forget to vote on the poll! I'm taking it down either Friday or Saturday. I also have to visit my mom again on Saturday ugh. Maybe I can get out of it since Midterms on next week.
Anyways! Please review and send in prompts! I'm going to need something to do if I can't get out of seeing my mom.
